I'm going to start doing shorter chapters now, because I feel like they're better.

Oh yeah, sorry for the long delay again. Don't expect anything else from me lmao.

Tyrant-Fool: I love Thor too

UnkownSoul: Yes, but maybe not the ones you're expecting.

Kerrowe: Thank you so much for all the reviews! They're great to read and so thanks for taking the time to reading it and for leaving comments!

D. : Yeah, Kamijou won't be able to beat Noumu. Alone that is.

Unbreakable Dark Yuri Eberwein: Yeah, it got cut off. It's with Noukan right now, who's trying to use it to access the MHA world. And probably not, for your other question.

Ril Noyama: Yeah, Kamijou vs Bakugou is an interesting fight to do. Kamijou with his precognition can mostly defend against Bakugou, and Bakugou's abilities make it a cool fight to imagine. Possibly, for your other question

Lovecrazyhedgehog: That's great! The light novels are really good huh? It's always nice seeing someone read index.

EternalKing: Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to change what you've pointed out in the future rewrite, and I'll keep in mind when writing the newer chapters.

Rajarshi Sarkar: Yeah, I've gotten that feedback before. I'll focus on Touma's story more than Deku from now.

Thanks for clicking on the chapter, read and review pls.

After the extremely tiring battle training class by All Might, the lessons and days after that were pretty relaxed in comparison.

Basic Hero Training, each day after the battle training, was mostly theory and reflections for the battle training, but today, it was different.

That was a sign of an extra tough day.

The bell rang, signalling the end of the lunch break. Aizawa-sensei stood in front of the class to make an announcement. "Now for toady's hero basic training, this time, All Might, myself and one other will supervise."

Hanta Sero raised his hand. "What exactly are we doing today?"

It seemed like from the register Aizawa used, this was going to be a special class.

Aizawa stuck his hand into his pocket and held out a plague which said 'rescue.' "Preparing you for disaster relief, from fires to floods. Rescue training."

Kaminari Denki groaned. "Looks like it's going to be another rough day."

Kirishima Eijiro enthusiastically pumped him up. "Come on, this is what being a hero is all about! I'm pumped."

"Right!" Mina Ashido chimed.

Aizawa glared at them. "I'm not done yet. Stop talking." He clicked a button on his remote, and rows of storage space came out of the left side of the classroom. These contained every student's costumes. "Wear them if you want. Some of your costumes might not be suitable for today, so make that choice yourself. It's a remote place, so we're going by bus. Hurry up and get ready in fifteen minutes."

'Rescue training, huh' Kamijou idly thought. 'This seems like it would be interesting.'

Kamijou grabbed his costume, which had already been repaired from the fight with Bakugou. Apparently, the support course added more defensive capability to the hoodie. Kamijou looked forward to not getting hurt as much.

He quickly wore it and contemplated the new feeling of his improved costume.

His right arm felt lighter. The feeling was the same for the rest of his body.

Kamijou also felt safer in the hoodie. He had requested them to increase the defensive capabilities of the hoodie, and it seems they had. 'What a reliable support course.'

His hoodie now was stab-proof and could prevent bullets from penetrating. This was done by weaving carbon fibre into the hoodie itself. Maybe now Kamijou would stop getting into so many damn injuries.

The hoodie itself was upgraded to a shock-absorbing material.

But would it make any difference in a real fight?

When everyone was changed, they went outside to the bus.

Kamijou walked next to MIdoriya and Uraraka. MIdoriya had a determined look on his face. Kamijou could even see puffs of air blowing out of his nose.

"Hmm?" Uraraka noticed something different about Midoriya. "Why are you wearing your gym clothes, Deku? Where's your costume."

Kamijou had just noticed that as well. "Hm? Oh yeah, you are."

Midoriya sighed. "It was too badly damaged from the training…" He looked at Bakugou, the person who did it to his costume.

"Mine was damaged too." Kamijou pondered." they got it fixed pretty quickly."

"Well, your costume is pretty simple," Uraraka said.

"You're probably right."

"Well, I bought one of these faceguard thingies." Midroya pointed to the piece of metal hanging around his neck. "It's supposed to protect the neck, and I think it looks cool."

Kamijou thought so too. Maybe he should get one for the extra protection. With his luck, a neck injury was probably coming.

Iida was relishing his new position as the class president and took getting on the bus very seriously. "Line up according to your I.D. numbers. Fill those seats in an orderly fashion."

Kamijou stopped in his tracks. "Wait." He seemed to have remembered something important. He patted his pockets, and his heart fell.

"What is it?" Midoriya wondered.

Kamijou groaned and grabbed his head with his hand. "I lost my ID… Such misfortune!"

They got on the bus anyway, and it turned out that Iida's effort was for nothing.

Iida was feeling disappointed. "Darn it! So it was this type of bus!" he held his head in disappointment.

Midoriya was sat on one of the sideway couches lining the sides of the bus and being next to so many people. Naturally, a conversation struck up.

"I generally say what's on my mind, Midoriya," Tsuyu said thoughtfully.

"Oh?! What is it, Asui?" MIdoriya sheepishly replied.

With an innocent smile on her face, Tsuyu exposed his most valued secret. "Your quirk resembles All Might's."

Midoriya's ensuring reaction pretty much confirmed the truth of that observation, but no one seemed to notice it. "R-r-r-really? Nah. I mean, I…" MIdoriya stuttered out, trying to cover up his accidental exposure.

But Kirishima came to his rescue instead. "Hold up, Tsuyu. All Might's power is way stronger! And he doesn't injure himself if he goes all out as well."

'Yes, Kirishima!' Midoriya nodded in agreement.

"But that sort of simple strength-enhancing Quirk is awesome! You can use it in all sorts of cool ways!" Kirishima lamented. "Not like my hardening." He activated his Quirk for emphasis. "It's good in a fight, but it's kinda boring."

"Tell me about it." Kamijou sighed as he glanced at his right hand. "And it brings me misfortune as well." Kirishima nodded in understanding.

The quirk nerd Midoriya quickly came to deny that. "I think that's pretty neat, though. Your Quirk is more than enough if you wanna go pro," he told Kirishima, before turning to Kamijou. "And well… your Quirk is amazing in its own right!"

"You think so?" Kirishima was a simple man, and the compliment instantly had an effect.

A new voice joined the conversation. "Don't forget heroes also have to have a sufficient amount of popularity appeal! With my navel laser, which is both strong and cool, I have the perfect Quirk for a hero~" Aoyama boasted, not realizing how lame he really looked.

"Sure, if you don't manage to blow up your own stomach in the process!" Mina put her hand on his shoulder and patted him with mock pity.

Aoyama's face quickly turned dark, staring at the person who just insulted his integrity intensely. "Your quirk's not any better," he muttered.

Tsuyu continued the talk of quirks. "You wanna talk strong and cool? Todoroki and Bakugou have you covered." she pointed at the two of them, who were minding their own business. Until now.

As they were talking about him, Bakugou quickly clicked his tongue in annoyance and looked away.

"But Bakugou's so unhinged, he'd never be popular." Tsuyu dropped an insult. Bakugou couldn't let this slide so easily

Bakugou exploded. "What'd you say?! Frog-face?!"

Undeterred, Tsuyu merely pointed at him. "See?"

Kaminari decided to join in the collective mocking of Bakugou. "We've only started socializing, and you've already made it abundantly clear to us the unpleasantness of the steamed turd of your personality." He said smartly, eager to please.

"Yeah, Mr Vocabulary, how about I pound you?" Bakugou threatened.

"You talk tough, but you got bodied by Kamijou the other day, and he's clueless" Kaminari teased.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

Kamijou had no idea what he was talking about. "Yeah, but one thing's for sure. We'd both beat you in a fight." Kamijou shot back.

Bakugou's antics were already dismissed as the class paid no notice to his outburst. This was all new to Midoriya, who found it a welcome development.

'I can't believe Kacchan's getting bullied.' Midoriya thought. 'I guess this is U.A. after all.'

This was a scene so unbelievable to him, Midoriya clutched his head to stop it from exploding.

Kamijou was in the middle of this conversation, literally. Because of his luck, he was stuck with standing in the middle of the two rows of benches. Things were getting rowdy, and Kamijou smiled fondly. This was just like the class he had back in his own world.

And that thought sobered him up. He was optimistic about his chances of returning, but he still couldn't help worrying about Othinus.

But that was fine. Kamijou would get back to her, no matter what. He would even go from hell and back, again, risking his life to save the smile of that single girl.

But right now, all he could do was wait.

All Might was on the case, helping to find clues to get him back. With his connections and status in this world, Kamijou couldn't have had a better contact.

Kamijou understood that as of now, he could do nothing to help Othinus. In the meantime, helping everyone he could was the least he could do.

Determination filled him, and he was more fired up than anything before. Rescue training was something Kamijou looked forward to a lot. Helping people didn't just include punching the bad guy, after all. This would be a valuable experience for Kamijou, who preferred not to fight anyway.

Back to the conversation, Momo covered her frown elegantly, conveying her disgust. "What a vulgar conversation!"

Uraraka, on the other hand, was laughing with the rest of the class. "I think it's pretty fun."

At the time, they were still making fun of Bakugou. They were on the topic of his exceedingly foul mouth and tendency to insult everyone.

Bakugou was sitting through all of this abuse, feeling annoyed.

Why was he, the strongest, getting laughed at?

Of course, he didn't pay any heed to the pebbles laughing to him. These losers had no individual power, so they gang up. Bakugou had seen this phenomenon many times, but you just had to crush them a bit, and they would naturally come flocking to be friends with him.

But Bakugou wasn't sure if that was going to happen at the prestigious U.A.

Deep down, even he knew that he wasn't the strongest in the class, let alone the course. He knew that deep down, but would never admit to it.

Witnessing scenes of the battle training, Bakugou knew that this class would be hard to conquer.

Shouto Todoroki.

Kamijou Touma.

Those two.

If he could just crush the both of them, Bakugou would be the undisputed king of the class.

But Todoroki…

His display of power In the battle training had left him dumbfounded. Even Bakugou could recognize strength if he saw it.

He still remembered the easy use of his dominating Quirk, ending the match in seconds.

But that wasn't all. At the end of the match, Todoroki used some sort of heat power to melt the ice.

If what he saw was accurate, Todoroki essentially held two quirks, both of them overwhelmingly powerful.

Could his explosion keep up with that? A small voice in his head spoke.

He shook off the negative thoughts in his head. For Todoroki, raw power was needed, and Bakugou had just that. No tricks needed, just a full-frontal assault. Whoever was faster, stronger, more powerful, that was the one who would win that matchup.

But Kamijou was a different story.

That guy was nothing special, but he still managed to beat him. How that was possible, Bakugou didn't know. He was faster, he was stronger, his Quirk was better than his in every single way possible.

Bakugou was sure he would beat him the second time. If he had used lethal power, he would have won that anyway.

But the thing was, Kamijou was fishy as hell.

He called his right hand the Imagine Breaker. Something he had heard from the mouth of another he lost to. The villain who introduced himself to Bakugou after decimating him in battle as Lightning God Thor.

What was their connection? And what was Kamijou's true background?

Those were answers he would extract from Kamijou through any way necessary.

He needed another chance to fight with the villain, and Kamijou could be his way forward.

A tired voice interrupted his thoughts. "We're here now. Look sharp." Aizawa said.

Walking into the vast dome-shaped building, Kamijou was seriously impressed by the scale of the facilities he saw.

It honestly looked like more of an amusement park than anything else.

Someone else echoed his thoughts. "Whoa! Is this Universal Studios Japan?"

On closer inspection, it looked less like a theme park and more of a disaster.

A carefully engineered disaster, but a disaster nonetheless.

On one side of the facility, there was a ruined pile of rocks, probably designed to emulate a landslide.

Fire raged through some buildings elsewhere, and there was even a broken boat in the middle of a swirling body of water.

"That's the flood zone." A robotic voice helpfully told him. "the landslide zone, the conflagration zone, etc."

The class turned towards the figure with the voice. "Every disaster and accident you can imagine, it's here. I built this place myself. I call it, the Unforeseen Simulation Joint! USJ for short!"

Kamijou wasn't familiar with this hero, but he could see the theme this person was going for.

With a large spacesuit covering his whole body, and a blacked-out visor replacing the helmet, this was probably the other hero Aizawa sensei said was supervising.

Midoriya reared up excitedly. "It's the space hero, Thirteen! He's a gentleman who does his best work in rescue scenarios!"

Uraraka was, surprisingly, arguably more excited than Midoriya. "Ooh, I love Thirteen!"

The rest of the class was buzzing about as well, with the exception of Kamijou, who was the only person who didn't know that name.

'A rescue hero, huh? That's a nice change… I thought this world's heroes were all about beating villains up.' Kamijou thought.

Aizawa walked up Thirteen and discretely asked him, "Where's All Might? I thought he would be meeting us here."

Thirteen replied apologetically. "About that, Senpai,,, It looks like he's just about reached his limit during his morning commute." He held up three gloved fingers for emphasis. "He's resting in the break room, and should be coming for a bit at least."

Aizawa clicked his tongue in irritation. "The height of irrationality." He said dryly. He had somewhat of a premonition. "We should be careful, just in case. Well, let's get started."

Thirteen nodded and turned to the students. "Before we start, I have one or two points. Or three, actually. Four, possibly."

Kamijou couldn't help sweat drop; they were in for a big lecture, it seemed.

"As I'm sure many of you are aware," Thirteen started, "My Quirk is called Black Hole, and it allows me to suck in and tear apart anything. No substance is immune to my Quirk."

Kamijou couldn't help but feel wary. A power that could do something like that could also kill with a mere touch.

The shadow of Kamisato Kakeru's right hand came to mind. The thought of coming into contact with both of these things did not bode well in Kamijou's experienced mind.

Antithetically, Midoriya commented. "And you used it to save a lot of lives in all sorts of disasters!"

"…Indeed." Thirteen answered. Of all people, of course, he would know the true power and consequence of using that Quirk incorrectly. "However, my Quirk can easily kill. Some of you might even have something similar that could kill easily."

Kamijou looked around the class and saw some faces that looked like they understood.

Midoriya and Todoroki both looked down on the ground seriously. They knew the weight and responsibility of handling such volatile quirks.

Bakugou, on the other hand, couldn't look more nonplussed.

'As expected.' Kamijou chuckled internally. 'But for some reason, I feel like the chances of him messing up and costing a life is a lot less than some other people he knew.'

One other figure was feeling the weight behind the words, and that was the bird-headed Fumikage Tokoyami.

Dark Shadow was his Quirk.

Another being within him, something that was manageable at day, but uncontrollable in the pitch black.

He had some experiences of losing control, and it wasn't pretty.

He was probably the person most relatable to Thirteen's words.

Thirteen continued after a short break for emphasis. "In our superpowered society, the use of quirks is heavily monitored and restricted. It may seem that this system is working well, and is stable, but we must never forget that it only takes one wrong move with an uncontrollable quirk for someone to die."

The rescue hero paused, but everyone was silent, absorbing the words. "During Aizawa's quirk physical test, you learned your limits and your hidden potential. Through All Might's battle training, you experienced the danger of your respective quirks can pose to others."

Bakugou suddenly felt stares down his back.

"… And this class, it will show you a new perspective! You will learn how to utilize your quirks to save lives! Your powers are not meant to inflict harm, so I hope you leave here today with the understanding that you're meant to help people. That is all. Thank you for listening." He finished with a bow.

There was an outstanding ovation, mostly from the furiously clapping hands of Iida, who was also yelling, "bravo, bravo!"

Everyone was impressed by this role model, even by hero standards. Even Bakugou had nothing to say.

Aizawa got straight to business. "Great, first off…"

But then, he sensed something behind him.

Something dark. His instincts were telling him that this was dangerous.

Something life-threatening.

He looked behind him, and sure enough, there was dark energy swirling around.

"Everyone stay back. Something's wrong." Aizawa said commandingly. He got his scarfs ready for action.

Slowly, the dark swirl got bigger and bigger, and soon enough, a single hand grasped it from within.

A face soon followed.

This was a face of apparent ill intent, even if almost all of it was covered by a realistic-looking hand.

This was a man with long light blue hair, wearing full black.

He stepped out, and dozens more followed him.

"Everyone, huddle up and don't move!" Aizawa yelled, never taking his eyes off the villains. "Thirteen, protect the students!"

The entire class was confused, but Thirteen was already moving. "Got it, Senpai!"

Kirishima spoke up. "What the hell is happening?! Is this part of the test?"

Aizawa put his goggles on. "Don't move! Those are Villains!"

Kamijou saw a familiar face in the crowd of villains.

Lightning God Thor stepped out of the black mist and admired his surroundings. His mood changed suddenly, however. "All Might isn't here?" he asked accusingly. "You said All Might would be here."

Kurogiri growled. "Thirteen and Eraser Head. According to the staff schedule you gave me the other day, All Might should have been here."

Shigaraki was not deterred. "Where is he…? We've come all this way and brought so many playmates… and All Might, the Symbol of Peace isn't here?"

Kurogiri looked at Shigaraki. He would have personally retreated and wait for another chance, but this was Shigaraki's decision to make.

"I wonder if some dead kids would bring him here?" Shiagraki drawled, tilting his head back menacingly.

An aura of evil washed through class 1 A, and they finally felt the danger that was brought down on them.

More villains were pouring out by the second, and the class burst into organized chaos.

"Villains? No way, who would be dumb enough to sneak into a school for heroes?" Someone exclaimed.

"Sensei, aren't there intruder sensors?" Yaoyorozu asked.

"Yes, of course, there are!" Aizawa replied quickly. His attention was focused on the waves of villains that were coming his way.

"Is it only here or the main building? Either way, the alarms aren't working, so it has to be one of their quirks that are doing that." Todoroki analyzed. "This place is far from the campus, and they picked a time when there'd be few people here. This is a well-planned surprise attack, and we must assume that they have an objective, and are not as dumb as they seem."

"Good analysis, but we don't need that right now. Thirteen, begin evacuation and try calling the school. It's probably not going to work, there's a good chance they're jamming the signal, so Kaminari, try to use your Quirk to signal for help." Aizawa commanded.

Kaminari nodded anxiously "Got it!"

Aizawa looked like he was ready to fight, to jump straight on into the cesspool of villains by himself.

Midoriya tried to stop him. "Sensei, you can't stop them alone! Your Quirk isn't suited for head-on battle against multiple opponents!"

Aizawa quietly answered. "No good hero is a one-trick pony. Thirteen, look after them."

Kamijou cut in. "I'm coming with you," he said determinedly, walking towards Aizawa. "I know that person over there, and I can fight him!"

Thirteen cut across his path and grabbed him by the shoulder. "Oh no, you don't!"

Aizawa glanced at him seriously. "You're a student, and I'm a pro hero. Your job is to stay safe, and my job is to protect everyone."

"But that doesn't mean I get to stand by and watch you get hurt, or even die!" Kamijou argued back fiercely. "You can't beat them all.. especially him!" Kamijou pointed at the direction of Thor, who was waving at him cheerfully. "I've had previous experience with him, and I've fought him before. Your erasure won't be a good matchup against Thor."

'Thor?' Bakugou was suddenly attentive to the actual villains below them. He scanned everyone's face, and there he was.

Lightning God Thor.

The person who humiliated him.

Bakugou suddenly had a reason to fight. 'Fuck that, Thor's mine! I have to explode him for what he did to me!" his red eyes glowered at Aizawa.

Aizawa's eyes turned red in return. He was not impressed, and sighed. "Don't make me use my quirk before a fight!" he then disabled Bakugou's explosion and wrapped the both of them with his capture tape. "Thirteen, secure them. I'll be going now."

And just like that, he jumped into the villains and proceeded to single-handedly slow them down.

Kamijou quickly negated Aizawa's Quirk's effect on the capture tape and got out, but Thirteen was in front of him. "Aizawa can handle himself! We need all the men we have to defend ourselves and evacuate!" He said desperately.

Kamijou didn't want to fight Thirteen, but Bakugou didn't have the same sentiment. "Out of the way!" he maniacally yelled, using his turbo booster move to manoeuvre away from Thirteen. "Stay right there, young man!" Thirteen's fingers suddenly popped off, and a sizeable gravitational force emanated from his fingers.

This was his Quirk. This was Black Hole.

He used just enough power to stop Bakugou from moving, but not enough power to suck him in.

Kamijou moved, and touched Thirteen with his Imagine Breaker, negating the use of his Quirk.

Bakugou fell to the floor and tried to get up, but the power of Black Hole still shook him to the core.

Kamijou looked down and saw that Aizawa was doing fine, taking down a man with a substantial mutated body with ease. But that wasn't the issue. He had never doubted Aizawa's ability.

But his ability would do nothing to Lightning God Thor, who did not have a quirk, and instead used magic.

Thor was mighty, and Kamijou knew that nobody on the hero side could beat him currently. Kamijou had experience with him, so he would hold him off until everyone evacuated, or convince him to join Kamijou's side.

That was what Kamijou hoped will happen. He did not look forward to another brutal fight with the Thor, and since they had history, he could maybe make him stop without using his fists.

But Kamijou had no idea why Bakugou was getting fired up. Was it possible that they had a history before?

Kamijou knew if Thirteen wanted, he could have easily stopped the two of them. Such was the power of a pro hero.

So Kamijou had to convince Thirteen of his good intentions.

How was he going to do that with Bakugou on his side?

Kamijou took a deep breath. "Look, I know-"

He was cut off by an extremely fast-moving figure slamming him in the chest.

Panicked yells came from the rest of the class, and Kamijou realized he was being carried by someone who was flying. He looked over and saw Bakugou on the other shoulder.

"Thor!" Kamijou realized who it was.

Thor smiled at him innocently. "Enjoying your ride?" Thor noticed the creeping right hand of Kamijou, threatening to disable his magic. "Do you want us all to fall to our death? Don't touch me with Imagine Breaker if you want to live."

Meanwhile, Bakugou was struggling hard. "Let me GO!" he roared, as he activated explosions all over his palms, bringing out a bit of annoyance in Thor.

"Stop his struggling or I'll drop you both." He said to Kamijou.

Kamijou didn't want to fall to his death, so he touched Bakugou with his right hand. "Calm down! We're in the air! DO you want us to die!?" Kamijou yelled at him hysterically

Bakugou replied aggressively. "Shut up! This guy is a villain, and I wanna kill him!"

Kamijou tried to explain. "This situation is under control, just calm down, and we'll be out of it in no time!"

Kamijou was sure he could convince Thor to join him.

Bakugou could not listen to reason. "Oh, so you're in cahoots with this guy? Is that it?!"

Kamijou sighed exasperatedly, and just waited till his feet landed on the ground.

But now, they felt a force pulling them back.

It was Thirteen, with 5 fingers projecting his power.

Thor whistled. "That Quirk is powerful, to stop our momentum from a couple hundred meters away. But that won't be enough to stop me! Expand!"

The arc fusion blades on his fingers expanded once more, to about 20 meters long. They burnt the air with more power, creating hydrogen and thrust to move forward.

They blasted forward with so much power that they broke free of Thirteen's black hole's influence and landed on the opposite side of the facility.

Thor dropped both of them and blocked the exit of the mountainous terrain they were in. "Alright guys, my orders were to take you down as quickly as possible, but that's just boring, so I've given you a chance to fight back first." He spread his arms. "Come at me~."

Bakugou did not need another invitation to do so, and turbo blasted his way towards Thor.

"Wait!" Kamijou yelled. "We don't have to fight!"

Thor sighed as he dodged Bakugou's clumsy attack. "The same old Kamijou, I see. Take that stick out of your ass and join in!" Thor ducked under Bakugou and threw a lazy punch, which Bakugou got out of the way of.

Kamijou tried again. "Why are you doing this, Thor? Are you in with the rest of the villains, or do you just want an entertaining fight?"

Thor laughed. "Both, actually, but you're just a distraction right now. My real target is All Might," he revealed ominously.

Kamijou's blood went cold, and even Bakugou stopped temporarily to hear what he said." What do you mean?" Kamijou demanded.

Thor grinned and replied. "I just meant that I'm here to fight and kill All Might."

'All Might? He wasn't even here! But if he is working with all those villains over there, and his target is the death of All Might, the Symbol of Peace…'

If their plan succeeded, Kamijou could not imagine what would happen to the balance between the light and the dark in this world.

And this world was now his world. He could not let that happen.

Kamijou stepped forward. "I can't let you do that." He warned. "If you're serious, I'll stop you!"

Kamijou didn't like to fight, especially against Thor. He had fought the self-proclaimed god twice before now and had technically lost both times.

And now they were in a new world, with different rules.

Who knows what could have happened to Thor?

He would have to see him as an entirely new opponent now.

Thor laughed. "You're the best Kamijou! Don't worry, I'll give you a great fight!"

Thor activated his arc blades and blasted forward in the air. Bakugou tried to intercept. "You're mine, and mine alone! I still haven't got you back for last time!"

Thor quickly shifted past Bakugou and continued talking with Kamijou. "I'd like this fight to be between the two of us if you don't mind,"

Bakugou paid no heed to his words and continued to relentlessly attack Thor.

Thor sighed and expertly knocked Bakugou down with a punch, enhanced by the belt of strength. "Stay down," Thor warned, as he kicked Bakugou while he's down. By then, he was effectively knocked out. "Don't worry. He's just knocked out. He'll be fine if he doesn't do anything stupid."

Kamijou stiffened. "Why are you doing this Thor?"

"Didn't I tell you already?"

"No, but why? I thought you didn't like bringing innocent people into your conflicts!?" Kamijou demanded.

Thor sighed. "That is true, but the thing is…" he spread his arms. "For the chance for a good fight with you, this can be overlooked." As he grinned, a light aura of blue light emanated out of his eyes.

"Dammit! Have your desires to gain power finally overcame your morality!?" Kamijou spat out.

"Kamijou-chan, when I came to this world, I was a lot weaker than I was back in our earth, and that made me realize something." Thor started. "It made me enjoy the battles I fight again, and my desire to gain strength has grown even larger than before."

"So you now turn a blind eye to innocents getting dragged into this?" Kamijou growled.

"I admit, I don't like it. But mark my words, no one will die here today." Thor promised. "Except All Might."

Kamijou was shocked to hear him say something like that. "Are you serious right now?"

"Deadly serious. I came here to this world just like you did, Kamijou-chan. And my way only out is by killing All Might." Thor smiled sadly. "To die as a martyr isn't so bad, isn't it? Besides, I believe you'll be his successor anyway, so the world as a whole would be fine. If you were in the same position as me, you would do the same. Or come to think of it, you won't. That's just the way you are." Thor finally got into his battle stance. "But killing All Might would kill two birds with one stone. You're just a bonus round for me, but I value this encounter highly. Come at me with all you've got, Kamijou-chan!"

Kamijou didn't need to be told twice. "it looks like you're determined on this path. But let me tell you this: Even if you think there's only one way, there's always another! And if you still don't get it, I'll break that illusion of yours, and we'll get home together!"

On that note, the fated third battle between Imagine Breaker and the Lightning God Thor begun.

The air expanded as the electric-powered arc fusion blades coming from the 10 fingers of Thor began to expand.

The expanding air propelled Thor forward at blitzing speeds towards Kamijou.

Kamijou ducked below the speeding figure and held out his right hand just in time to negate the incoming arc fusion blade that was slicing towards his torso.

As the blade came to an absolute halt, Thor grimaced as his finger joints took the full weight of decelerating instantly. "As expected of my enemy. Even All Might would probably be an easier opponent than you."

Kamijou smiled weakly as his right hand's wrist creaked on the sheer magical power of the fusion blades. They were so strong that even his right hand couldn't outright negate it. "My right hand won't negate this… Where's Mjolnir, Thor?"

Thor grinned. "We fused. She's in my head now, thanks to World Rejector." He retracted his fingers, arc fusion blades along with them.

Now that Kamijou had a good look of them, they were pretty short compared to previous times. They still stretched far above his head, but it was nowhere near the ceiling of the colossal USJ.

'He shortened the blades to fight me in order to decrease the strain on his wrist when I block them," Kamijou realized. 'While keeping me far enough not to hit him.'

Thor really was serious in this battle.

But Kamijou was serious as well.

He would save Thor and find a way back together.

He would never allow him to kill someone, just because he thought it was the only way.

He would not allow Thor to break his own moral code out of desperation.

Kamijou let out a yell and stood his ground against the force of the blades.

"These aren't as strong as the time we fought in Academy City." Kamijou started. "The moment is shortened, so your wrists don't feel the strain."

Thor grinned uneasily. "I fought you before, and that gave me valuable XP. I've beaten you twice already, so I hope you'll come up with something more interesting!"

Kamijou began to, with all his might, push forward, his right hand scraping across the pure lightning of the fusion blades.

When Thor realized that Kamijou could match his force, he quickly flexed his fingers, jumped back, and splayed his ten fingers, attacking all over Kamijou's body.

Kamijou used Imagine Breaker to grab one of the blades swinging parallel to him and hung on.

Thor, surprised, felt the effect of the extra force on his fingers. They bent dangerously, leaving Thor wincing in pain.

The force from the finger propelled Kamijou flying towards the left, and now he was a good 15 meters away from him.

Kamijou quickly got back to his feet and saw Thor closing the distance, his arc fusion blades not any longer. 'Got him!'

"You're weakened, aren't you, Thor?" Kamijou confidently said. "You don't have the same power as you did in our previous fights!"

It was obvious.

Thor was merely using 10 meters of his blades, wherein his previous fights, they were always at 20.

This might be because Thor was avoiding stress onto his wrists, but that didn't explain why he didn't expand it during the glaring opening when Kamijou moved out of range by using the blades as a monkey bar.

Kamijou was barely out of range and obviously winded. Thor had a considerable chance of striking then if he had increased the length of the blades, which would take Kamijou by surprise.

But he didn't.

"Nice spot, Kamijou." Thor clapped. "As expected of you. But that information won't do you any good. I intend to defeat you with precisely this amount of power."

"…!" Kamijou could think of two reasons why he would hold back. "Is this really the extent of your power?!"

Thor shrugged. "If you say so."

"…No. You're holding back for some reason." Kamijou deduced. "You're either confident enough to beat me, or you have some other reason. "

Thor was a person who enjoyed fighting fierce battles, especially against someone like Kamijou.

Kamijou had decided that he would not hold back for any mere reason.

Something had to be above his agenda to hold back.

Kamijou got it. "All Might. You're holding back in order to fight All Might! That must mean your abilities have limits now! You cannot use Almighty Thor!"

"…"

Kamijou was feeling a lot more confident now. "Back in District 11, you used your ultimate magic to defeat me, and now you can't do that. You said that I had defeated the Lightning God Thor, so what makes you think I can't do it again!"

"You can't use your Almighty mode, because that's your only ability to kill All Might, and so if you use it on me, you won't be able to fulfil your objective, and you have failed." Kamijou confidently spoke. "You've lost, Thor."

Thor sighed. "True. I'm at a disadvantage. To be honest, if I was really serious in defeating you, coming at you with Lightning God Thor is the worst way to do it."

Kamijou saw that Thor's will was faltering. "Then stop fighting. Come with me. We'll get back together!"

Thor started to get annoyed. "I told you already, didn't I?" he swung his blades once more towards Kamijou in all directions.

Somehow, Kamijou managed to dodge all of them with help from his Imagine Breaker. "Remember, before all this? Back in our world, in the Ichihanaransai?"

Bakugou was knocked out unconscious by Thor, but now he was awake. Groggily, he sat up, his head still spinning.

And the first thing he saw was Thor against Kamijou Touma.

The first thing he heard was. "Back in our world, in the Ichihanaransai?"

Bakugou was pretty sure he heard "our world." And not something similar.

Was he hallucinating?

No, it would have been a very consistent hallucination.

He continued listening as his body held no power.

"You were the one who came to me, and betrayed Gremlin, because of your desire to save anyone in need!" Kamijou recounted as he charged towards Thor, moving within the tunnel the arc fusion blades outlined.

"…That was a different situation." Thor tried to explain.

"Yeah, but it's essentially the same! Ollerus's group had to stop Othinus from creating Gungnir and to do that, they had to kill Frauleine Kreutune, who was instrumental in stopping their plan."

"…"

"What did you do? You strayed from the path of both of them, and decided to do things on your own! You saved Fraulene Kreutune, and tried to find another way to prevent it!"

"And what happened then!" Thor spat. "Ollerus took my place, and he failed. Gungnir happened anyway!"

"And I defeated Othinus." Kamijou simply said. "The world is still whole."

Thor could say nothing to that.

"So why don't you leave it to me once again?"

Bakugou had heard enough.

There were too many things they had said, which hinted that they were from another world.

No matter how improbably that was, the fact that these two monsters had the power they wield was enough proof of a whole new world.

There was no way a single quirk could explain the extent of Thor abilities.

Bakugou had a first-hand account of those abilities

But that meant nothing to him.

Bakugou wanted one thing, and that was beating the shit out of Thor, who had humiliated him before.

Thor was still pondering his choices when Bakugou charged straight at him, throwing a mean right hook powered by explosions straight at his head. "ORAAA!"

Thor was still an ordinary magician, so his body was nothing like Saints. It was still on the level of a human, so he felt that shot.

Thor gritted his teeth. "Goddammit!"

Thor got back to his feet quickly, arc fusion blades in the ready, and squared off between both of them. "You might be right, Kamijou, but I still want this fight to happen! You don't know if I'm bluffing or not, so you have to go all out of me seriously! Or else, I still might kill All Might~."

That was true.

If he was bluffing, and Kamijou let him go, then he might still use his hidden abilities to fight All Might.

Kamijou had to either bait them out or take Thor out of the equation of the battle as soon as possible.

Kamijou had no choice. "Fine. But I'll do it as quickly as possible." He turned towards Bakugou, who was holding his ground. "Are you willing to work together?"

Bakugou grunted.

Kamijou smiled. He took that as a yes.

Finally, Bakugou had learned humility.

Or maybe he had just finally noticed the gravity of the situation around them.
